Fall Colours

When we look off our back deck we can see a bit of colour in the trees.

The colour reflects in the lake.

Joan and Earl left on Wednesday evening and I was very sad to see them go.  The wind started howling and it poured rain and the temperature dropped.  We Bob had to turn the furnace on.  When the furnace is turned on the hot water heater gets changed to using fuel oil instead of electricity.  Some handle on the hot water heater quit working and water began to leak.  We had to call in a plumber to get it fixed (a new handle). 

It was very quiet at the temple this week.

It quit raining after over 4 inches has fallen.  By Saturday afternoon it was beautiful again and Tara and the boys came for a weiner roast in the back yard.

It gets dark here by 7:30 p.m. now.  I am not looking forward to another winter here, but only one year from last Saturday until our release date.
